Dear Trump Voter,

Dear Trump Voter,
He played you for a fool.
That wall will not built as advertised let alone be paid for by Mexico.
The “repeal of Obamacare”- a flop.
Major tax reform- not happening either.
Massive infrastructure spending? Nothing doing.
China? No longer a “currency manipulator.” Instead Ivanka got her product copyrighted by the Chinese premier when she met him with her dad, and will make a bundle for the Trump clan.
Taking back the Iran nuclear deal? Nope.
The Federal Reserve chairwoman, Janet Yellen, will stay.
Lock up Hillary? Nope.
Trump voters know what the rest of us knew: Trump was and is unprepared.
Trump is unprincipled and corrupt and his “presidency” has already turned out to be nothing but a con-job to enrich himself and his clan.
According to a Gallup poll released Monday Republicans are starting to notice they’ve been had:
“President Donald Trump’s image among Americans as someone who keeps his promises has faded in the first two months of his presidency, falling from 62 percent in February to 45 percent. The public is also less likely to see him as a ‘strong and decisive leader,’ as someone who ‘can bring about the changes this country needs’ or as ‘honest and trustworthy.’”
But… the poll also showed that just 7 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say Trump has performed worse than they expected him to. Fully 38 percent — five times as many — say he has performed better.
That said I think even the Trump cult members know Trump is failing but publicly admitting that irrational fear and outright lies (with a little help from Putin) compelled you to vote for a grifter who is now selling you out every day may take more time.
That time will come… as rural whites lose benefits like disability and health care.
Trump, is staying true to a lifetime form: Trump is empty all branding and fake image. His family clan are more to be compared to Toni Soprano’s clan than to any known American political dynasty.
“Family profit ahead of duty to country,” is the Trump family motto.
Instead of overthrowing the D.C. establishment Trump has empowered billionaires and bankers and enriched himself as if the Federal Government is his personal piggy bank.
Trump sold himself as a populist only to line his own pockets.
What did you expect? Trump has spent his life as his own best PR image-maker. He made all his money selling empty glitter to tasteless wealthy pretenders—the sort of idiots who really care about having a swanky address—and the poor and down and outs who (sadly) are too dumb to smell a con in something like Trump U or think that they really might win in a Trump casino.
It was white evangelicals 81% that elected Trump (who say the Bible teaches them how to live) that ignored all the basic wisdom in the Bible that warns us to beware of liars. It was the blue collar men and women -- who are supposed to be grounded in common sense that eludes the rich -- that bought Trump’s lies.
When will white evangelicals begin to read their Bibles again?
When will the blue collar Americans remember what their grandmothers taught them about trusting swanky liars?

Everything you wrote is so true. Trump suckered the ignorant into believing his promises for the nation. The evangelists hid their Bibles and chose the party before the country and lies before truths. So now, America you live with a kleptocratic government which continues to spew forth lies and deceit. I’m a non-believer of gods in the sky, I’m an atheist who, believe it or not, “prays” for the day when the orange evil and his nefarious cohorts occupying the White House are all unceremoniously removed and America is once again the land of the free, a country which welcomes all and again a world leader. Well written Frank Schaeffer.

I wanted Mike Huckabee as our Republican nominee and President. I believe The Fair Tax is the only thing that can save our economy. Huckabee was the only candidate that strongly supportd that tax plan. When Huckabee suspended his campaign , I started supporting Ted Cruz.
The reason why Trump became the nominee was because there were too may conservative evangelical types in the race and our votes were split between them. If somehow earlier we could have consolidated to one candidate, we would have beaten Trump for the nomination. Trump never had the majority but rather the plurality. The reason why many professing “evangelicals” voted for Trump in the General election was because they believed he was the better between the choice of two evils.
